FF8 was my first rpg, so would always say it’s my fave because it just has that special place in my heart. 7,8,9 and 10 are known for being the best in the series. 8 had kinda mixed reviews from fans it was an either you loved it or hated it. A lot of the hate was about the junction and draw system. It is also the most technologically advanced story wise in the final fantasy universe so some people view it more sci fi. But it also has some of the best theories from fans, even though the creators debunked the theories they are still interesting to read. Also even the people who hated it still love triple triad, which is a card game in the game.

4 is good, 6, 7 and 7 remake, 8, 9, 10 are great, 12 is ok, 13 sucks ass, 11 and 14 are mmo, 15 was great. Start with the older ones imo. Don’t let the title of 7 remake fool you play the original first as remake is more like a sequel in an alternate timeline.

You don’t need the same games on each console. Honestly if someone has multiple consoles and the same games on each one, that’s kinda dumb and a waste of money.

I enjoy both, and each system get some games that are specifically for their system.
